              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

1.     INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet as of September  30, 1996,  and the
condensed  consolidated  statements of operations  for the three and nine months
ended  September  30, 1996,  and 1995,  and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, and 1995,  have been prepared by the Company  without audit.
These interim financial  statements include all adjustments,  consisting only of
normal  recurring  accruals,  which  management  considers  necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial  statements for the above periods.  The results of
operations  for the three and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of results that may be expected  for any other  interim
periods or for the full year. 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 1995. The accounting policies used in preparing the condensed
consolidated  financial  statements are consistent  with those  described in the
December 31, 1995, consolidated financial statements.

2.     BUSINESS MATTERS AND LIQUIDITY

Computer Concepts Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") design, develop, market
and support  information  delivery software  products,  including  end-user data
access tools for use in personal  computer and client/server  environments,  and
systems management software products for corporate mainframe data centers.

The Company has incurred  consolidated  net losses of  $2,327,000  for the three
months ended September 30, 1996,  $9,274,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, and cumulative net losses of $59,675,000  through  September 30, 1996.
As of  September  30,  1996,  the  Company's  current  assets  exceeded  current
liabilities by $3,694,000.  Approximately $853,000 of accounts payable were past
due. The Company is not  experiencing  difficulty in obtaining trade credit with
customary terms from its vendors.  The Company  recorded as an unusual charge in
the March 31, 1996, condensed consolidated financial statements,  $2,075,000 for
a settlement of a class action suit,  wherein  $2,000,000 worth of the Company's
common  stock was placed in escrow and $75,000 was paid in cash.  See Note 5d to
the condensed  consolidated  financial statements.  During the nine month period
ended  September  30,  1996,  net  cash  used in  operating  activities  totaled
$4,335,000, consisting primarily of an operating net loss of $ 9,274,000, net of
depreciation  and  amortization  of  $2,340,000,  non cash  unusual  charges  of
$2,000,000,  common  stock  issued for  services of  $787,000,  and a net change
(reduction) in operating  assets and liabilities of $188,000.  In addition,  net
cash used in investing  activities of $1,068,000 consisted primarily of software
development  costs,  $332,000,  the  purchase  of fixed  assets,  $533,000,  and
additional   consideration   paid  in  connection   with  the  Softworks,   Inc.
acquisition,  $368,000,  offset  by the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  software
technology, $350,000.

The Company does not maintain a credit facility with any financial  institution.
The uses of cash,  referred to above,  have been essentially  funded through the
issuance of the Company's common stock as well as cash generated from Softworks,
Inc. Although the Company's  liquidity  position at September 30, 1996, has been
adversely affected by the aforementioned  factors,  equity placements during the
nine months then ended have mitigated these factors.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

2.     BUSINESS MATTERS AND LIQUIDITY (Continued)

During the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  net proceeds from the sale of
common stock and options were  $1,996,000.  In  addition,  the Company  received
approximately  $9,980,000  (net  of  commissions  and  fees)  from  the  sale of
convertible  debentures.  See Note 4b to the  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements.

The Company believes that these cash infusions  (coupled with anticipated future
cash  infusions)  will enable it to adequately  maintain its operations at least
through  September 30, 1997. At November 14, 1996, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents  of  approximately  $6,068,000  (unaudited).   Ultimately,  however,
positive  cash flows from  operations  will be necessary in order to curtail the
Company's reliance on equity placements.

To achieve  positive cash flows from  operations,  management  initiated  during
1995,  a  series  of cost  saving  measures,  some of  which  include,  wherever
possible,  reductions in staffing,  advertising,  the use of outside consultants
and marketing costs. The Company has continued these measures in 1996.  Further,
the Company has substantially  closed down its DBopen product line. During 1995,
the Company  significantly  curtailed the Superbase  operations,  and, in April,
1996,  ceased Superbase  operations by selling off this  technology.  During the
quarter ended  September 30, 1996,  the Company  announced that it had signed an
agreement with the Availability Services branch of IBM, wherein they will market
the Company's d.b.Express product line. This agreement does not contain any 
sales commitments.

Management's plans continue to be centered on the successful exploitation of the
Company's  d.b.Express  product.  To date,  revenues  from  current  versions of
d.b.Express  have been  insignificant.  Management  expects that future revenues
will support the carrying value of the capitalized  software  development  costs
related to  d.b.Express of $684,000 at September 30, 1996.  Management  believes
that the successful  implementation  of the cost saving measures and the planned
exploitation of its d.b.Express technology will eventually enable the Company to
achieve  positive  cash  flows from  operations.  The  long-term  success of the
Company,  under its existing  business  plan,  is dependent  upon the  Company's
ability to generate material d.b.Express sales revenues.

The  Company  has  signed a Letter  of  Intent  to sell one of its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  Maplinx,  Inc. ("Maplinx").  Financial information  pertaining to
this  wholly-owned  subsidiary as of and for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, and as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995, is summarized below:

</TABLE>

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its attempt to
sell this wholly-owned subsidiary.

In connection with the 1993  acquisition of Softworks,  Inc.  ("Softworks")  the
Company  is  required  to  make  additional  contingent  purchase  consideration
payments to two of Softworks'  former  shareholders  based upon certain  product
revenues for the years 1995 through 1998,  up to a maximum of  $1,000,000  each,
for an aggregate maximum of $2,000,000.  Through September 30, 1996, the Company
incurred a  liability  of  $736,000,  (of which  $659,000  has been paid) to the
non-employee  former   shareholders,   which  has  been  treated  as  additional
consideration in connection with the acquisition and,  accordingly,  included in
the  excess  of cost  over  the  fair  value of net  assets  acquired,  as these
individuals did not continue in the employment of the Company  subsequent to the
acquisition. No other contingent payments have been made under the terms of this
agreement.

 In June,  1994,  the Company  completed the purchase of the  Superbase  product
technology and certain related assets from Software  Publishing Corp. ("SPC") in
exchange for  2,031,175  shares of the  Company's  restricted  stock,  valued at
approximately  $4,000,000,  and  $75,000  in  cash.  SPC  received  a  valuation
guarantee for the stock  issued,  and will be permitted to sell such stock in an
orderly  manner over a twelve month  period  following  registration,  which was
originally  required to be completed  before  December 31, 1994.  The  agreement
provided  that should such  registration  statement not be effective by December
31, 1994, SPC, at its option, could require the Company to repurchase the shares
issued for the amount of the valuation guarantee.

On January 19, 1995,  SPC and the Company  entered  into an extension  agreement
whereby the Company was given an extension to file the registration statement to
February 15, 1995. In exchange for that extension, the Company agreed to pay SPC
$560,000  (the  "Penalty  Amount"),  payable  $300,000 in cash in three  monthly
installments,  and $260,000 in additional shares of Company common stock.  These
additional shares also have a valuation guarantee.  As a result of the Company's
failure to meet the December 31, 1994,  registration  statement filing deadline,
the Company recorded the Penalty Amount as an unusual charge in the December 31,

                                   (Unaudited)
         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

2.     BUSINESS MATTERS AND LIQUIDITY (Continued)

1994,  consolidated  statement  of  operations.  As of September  30, 1996,  the
Company has paid  $100,000 of the required  $300,000  cash penalty  amount.  The
remaining  balance of $200,000 was paid  subsequent to September  30, 1996.  The
extension  agreement  included a provision  that if the Company did not meet the
February 15, 1995 deadline,  and the  registration  was not completed by May 31,
1995,  SPC would be entitled to either of the following (at SPC's  option):  (I)
the payment of an additional  penalty payment equal to $638,400  payable equally
in cash and  Company  common  stock,  or (ii) the  repurchase  of the  shares as
provided  for in the  agreement.  The  Company  did not  meet  the May 31,  1995
requirement.  The  Company  recorded  an  additional  penalty of  $638,400 as an
unusual charge in the 1995 consolidated  statement of operations.  In June, 1996
SPC  initiated  the sale of a portion  of its  shares  pursuant  to the Rule 144
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and, further,  exercised its option for
the penalty payment of $638,400. The penalty payment of $638,000 payable equally
in cash and Company  common  stock was  satisfied by the Company  subsequent  to
September 30, 1996. 

The remaining stock issued to SPC is presently included in the accompanying
September 30, 1996 balance sheet as "Common Stock Subject To Redemption"  and is
classified as debt. However,  based upon the elections made by SPC, coupled with
the final  settlement  of all of the above  matters  between the Company and SPC
subsequent to September 30, 1996, any remaining  amount will be reclassified and
reported as equity in future filings.

The  Company is a  defendant  in several  lawsuits  and class  action  claims as
described in Note 5d. Based on consultation with legal counsel,  the Company and
its officers believe that meritorious  defenses exist regarding the lawsuits and
claims, and they are vigorously  defending against the allegations.  The Company
is unable to predict  the  ultimate  outcome of the  claims,  which could have a
material  adverse effect on the consolidated  financial  position and results of
operations of the Company.  Accordingly,  except as expressly  discussed herein,
the financial  statements do not reflect any adjustments  that might result from
the ultimate outcome of these litigation matters.

3.     RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 1995  financial  statements to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

4.     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

a.     Authorized Common Shares

On March 20, 1996, the  shareholders of the Company  approved an increase in the
number of authorized common shares from 60,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares.

b.     Sales of Common Stock

During the nine month period ended  September 30, 1996, the Company  consummated
sales of restricted  common stock under various  private  placement  agreements.
Proceeds  raised  from  these  sales  aggregated  $1,733,000,  net  of  offering
commissions and expenses of approximately  $297,000. A total of 1,015,000 shares
were sold at a price of $2.00 per share.  Additionally,  approximately  $263,000
was raised through the exercise of stock  options.  During the nine month period
ended  September 30, 1996, the Company raised  approximately  $9,980,000 (net of
commissions  and  expenses  of  $1,320,000)  through  the  sale of  subordinated
convertible debentures. Such debentures, which aggregate to the principal amount
of $11,300,000,  had maturity dates ranging from April, 1997 to March, 1998, and
are  convertible  into the restricted  common stock of the Company at conversion
rates  ranging from 67.5% to 75.0% of the prices of the  Company's  common stock
during  various  defined  periods.  As of the date of the filing of this  report
$10,800,000  of the  convertible  debentures  had converted into an aggregate of
14,706,597 shares of the Company's common stock and has, accordingly,  increased
the Company's shareholders' equity by an equal amount.


c.     Stock Option Plans

On March 20, 1996, the Company's  shareholders  approved the  termination of the
1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Employees' Plan"), the 1993 Directors, Officers and
Consultants  Stock  Option Plan (the "DOC  Plan"),  and the 1993 Prior  Services
Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Services Plan") and the adoption of the 1995 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "1995 Incentive Plan").  Further, the Company's shareholders
also  approved the Outside  Director  Stock Option Plan (the  "Director  Plan").
Directors  of the Company  who are not  full-time  employees  of the Company are
eligible to participate in the Director Plan.

         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

5.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

a.     Contingent Consideration

In connection with the 1993 acquisition of Softworks, the Company is required to
make additional  payments to two of Softworks' former  shareholders,  based upon
certain  product  revenues for the years 1995 through  1998,  up to an aggregate
maximum of $2,000,000.  $659,000,  treated for accounting purposes as additional
consideration, has been paid thus far through September 30, 1996.


b.     Employment Agreements

The Company has entered  into  various  employment  agreements  with certain key
employees for base compensation  aggregating $690,000 per year. These agreements
expire at various times in 1996 and 1997 and would be automatically  renewed for
succeeding terms of one year unless the Company, or the employee,  gives written
notice.

c.     Registration Statements/Restricted Securities

The  Company  has used  restricted  common  stock for the  purchase  of  certain
companies  and has sold  restricted  common  stock  in  private  placements.  At
September 30, 1996, 14,362,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued and
outstanding,  exclusive  of  shares  which  may be  issued  in  connection  with
acquisition related valuation guarantees or stock related valuation  guarantees.
See Part II Item 5.

d.        Legal Matters

The previously  disclosed  settlement of a class action claim [Nicholas Cosmas v
Computer  Concepts Corp., et al; United States District Court,  Eastern District
of New York] was approved by the Court on September 12, 1996. The Company posted
a charge to earnings in the first  quarter of 1996 of $2,075,000 to reflect this
settlement.

In July, 1995, the Company received notice of an action alleging the Company had
not used its best efforts to register warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock  within 30 days  from  written  notice to the  Company,
pursuant to a financial consulting agreement. The Company has maintained that it

<PAGE>


                    COMPUTER CONCEPTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
         For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

d.        Legal Matters (Continued)

has  always  used  its best  efforts  to cause  the  registration  of those
warrants to occur.  However,  to avoid the expense and resolve the uncertainties
of litigation,  the matter was originally  settled by including 385,000 warrants
in the Company's  pending  registration  statement,  with the balance of 115,000
warrants being canceled. As the pending registration  statement became effective
on August 9, 1996, the Company believes this matter has been resolved,  however,
the  Company  is  unable  to  predict  the  ultimate  outcome  of this suit and,
accordingly,   no  adjustment  has  been  made  in  the  consolidated  financial
statements for any potential losses.

In July, 1995, the Company and certain officers received  notification that they
have been named as defendants in a class action claim in regard to announcements
and statements regarding the Company's business and products.  During August and
September,  1995, four additional,  substantially identical, class action claims
were made. In November,  1995, the five  complaints were  consolidated  into one
action.  Plaintiffs have moved to certify a Class Action and the Company has not
opposed the motion.  No damages have been specified in any of these class action
claims.  Based on consultation with legal counsel,  the Company and its officers
believe  that  meritorious  defenses  exist  regarding  the  claims and they are
vigorously  defending against the allegations.  The Company is unable to predict
the ultimate outcome of these claims, which could have a material adverse impact
on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company,
and accordingly, no adjustment has been made for any potential losses.

On June 11, 1996, the Company  received  notice of entry of a default  judgement
against it for $1,500,000 and specific performance to effect the registration of
common  stock held by Merit  Technology,  Inc. in a matter which the Company had
not been served or received notice of (In Re: Merit  Technology,  Inc.,  Debtor,
U.S.  Bankruptcy Court,  Eastern District of Texas).  The Company timely filed a
motion to set aside  the  default  judgement  based on the lack of  service  and
meritorious defenses and is vigorously defending the matter. On August 13, 1996,
the  default  judgement  was set aside by the  Court.  The  Company is unable to
predict  the  ultimate  outcome  of these  claims,  which  could have a material
adverse impact on the consolidated  financial position and results of operations
of the Company,  and accordingly,  no adjustment has been made for any potential
losses.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 

Results of Operations 

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared with September 30, 1995

Revenues for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996, were  $4,313,000,  virtually
the same as the  comparable  period in 1995,  while revenues for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1996 of  $12,144,000  were $106,000 or 1.0% over the prior
year.  For the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996,  net  revenues  increased at
Softworks by $943,000 while decreasing at Maplinx by $693,000 as compared to the
quarter ended  September  30, 1995.  Year to date  increases of  $2,674,000  and
$73,000  at  Softworks  and  Computer  Concepts  respectively,  were  offset  by
decreases of  $1,741,000  and $491,000 at Maplinx and  Superbase,  (which ceased
operations in April, 1996 ) respectively.  The increase in revenues at Softworks
is due primarily to the release of new products and expanded sales and marketing
efforts.  The decrease at Maplinx is principally due in large part to a delay in
the release of its new products. The closure of certain subsidiaries and product
lines accounted for an additional loss of revenues of approximately $409,000.

The cost of revenues and technical support decreased  $643,000 to $1,354,000 for
the quarter ended  September  30, 1996, as compared to $1,997,000  for the prior
year quarter and by $1,482,000 to $3,971,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996,  from  $5,453,000 for the prior year nine month period.  The principal
factors for these decreases include the elimination of certain  subsidiaries and
product lines, as well as various reductions in overhead.

Research and  development  costs  increased  $18,000 to $328,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 from $310,000 for the prior year quarter, and increased
$101,000 to  $1,004,000  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  from
$903,000 for the prior year nine month  period.  Substantially  all  development
activities were devoted to further develop current product technologies.

Sales and marketing  expenses increased  approximately  $568,000 for the quarter
ended  September  30, 1996,  to $2,539,000  from  $1,971,000  for the prior year
primarily as a result of increased efforts to market d.b.Express . However,  for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, expenses decreased when compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by $19,000.  The cumulative decrease
is primarily a result of the  elimination  of certain  subsidiaries  and product
lines.

General and administrative  costs decreased $330,000 to $1,621,000 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1996,  when  compared to $1,931,000  for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1995,  and by $1,117,000 to $5,115,000  for the nine months
ended  September  30,1996  from  $6,232,000  for the  nine  month  period  ended
September 30, 1995. The principal  factor  contributing to the decrease has been
the elimination of certain subsidiaries and product lines.

See  Notes  2 and 5d to the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  for
discussions  relating to unusual  charges  incurred during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company has incurred  consolidated  net losses of  $2,327,000  for the three
months ended September 30, 1996,  $9,274,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, and cumulative net losses of $59,675,000  through  September 30, 1996.
As of  September  30,  1996,  the  Company's  current  assets  exceeded  current
liabilities by $3,694,000.  Approximately $853,000 of accounts payable were past
due. The Company is not  experiencing  difficulty in obtaining trade credit with
customary terms from its vendors.  The Company  recorded as an unusual charge in
the March 31, 1996, condensed consolidated financial statements,  $2,075,000 for
a settlement of a class action suit,  wherein  $2,000,000 worth of the Company's
common  stock was placed in escrow and $75,000 was paid in cash.  See Note 5d to
the condensed  consolidated  financial statements.  During the nine month period
ended  September  30,  1996,  net  cash  used in  operating  activities  totaled
$4,335,000, consisting primarily of an operating net loss of $ 9,274,000, net of
depreciation  and  amortization  of  $2,340,000,  non cash  unusual  charges  of
$2,000,000,  common  stock  issued for  services of  $787,000,  and a net change
(reduction) in operating  assets and liabilities of $188,000.  In addition,  net
cash used in investing  activities of $1,068,000 consisted primarily of software
development  costs,  $332,000,  the  purchase  of fixed  assets,  $533,000,  and
additional   consideration   paid  in  connection   with  the  Softworks,   Inc.
acquisition,  $368,000,  offset  by the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  software
technology, $350,000.

The Company does not maintain a credit facility with any financial  institution.
The uses of cash,  referred to above,  have been essentially  funded through the
issuance of the Company's common stock as well as cash generated from Softworks,
Inc. Although the Company's  liquidity  position at September 30, 1996, has been
adversely affected by the aforementioned  factors,  equity placements during the
nine months then ended, have mitigated these factors.

During the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  net proceeds from the sale of
common stock and options were  $1,996,000.  In  addition,  the Company  received
approximately  $9,980,000  (net  of  commissions  and  fees)  from  the  sale of
convertible  debentures.  See Note 4b to the  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements.

The Company believes that these cash infusions  (coupled with anticipated future
cash  infusions)  will enable it to adequately  maintain its operations at least
through  September 30, 1997. At November 14, 1996, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents  of  approximately  $6,068,000  (unaudited).   Ultimately,  however,
positive  cash flows from  operations  will be necessary in order to curtail the
Company's reliance on equity placements.

To achieve  positive cash flows from  operations,  management  initiated  during
1995,  a  series  of cost  saving  measures,  some of  which  include,  wherever
possible,  reductions in staffing,  advertising,  the use of outside consultants
and marketing costs. The Company has continued these measures in 1996.  Further,
the Company has substantially  closed down its DBopen product line. During 1995,
the Company  significantly  curtailed the Superbase  operations,  and, in April,
1996, ceased Superbase operations by selling off this technology.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

Financial Condition and Liquidity (Continued)

During the quarter ended  September 30, 1996, the Company  announced that it had
signed an agreement with the  Availability  Services branch of IBM, wherein they
will market the Company's d.b.Express product line.
This agreement does not contain any sales commitments.

Management's plans continue to be centered on the successful exploitation of the
Company's  d.b.Express  product.  To date,  revenues  from  current  versions of
d.b.Express  from such agreements have been  insignificant.  Management  expects
that future revenues will support the carrying value of the capitalized software
development  costs  related to  d.b.Express  of $684,000 at September  30, 1996.
Management  believes  that the  successful  implementation  of the  cost  saving
measures  and  the  planned  exploitation  of its  d.b.Express  technology  will
eventually enable the Company to achieve positive cash flows from operations.

The  long-term  success of the Company,  under its existing  business  plan,  is
dependent  upon the Company's  ability to generate  material  d.b.Express  sales
revenues.  

Softworks  sells  perpetual and fixed term licenses for its mainframe
products,  for  which  extended  payment  terms of three  to five  years  may be
offered.  In the case of  extended  term  payment  agreements,  the  customer is
contractually  bound to equal and annual fixed payments.  The first year of post
contract customer support (PCS) is bundled with standard license agreements.  In
cases of extended term license agreements,  PCS is bundled for the length of the
payment  term.  Thereafter,  in both  instances,  the  customer may purchase PCS
annually. At September 30, 1996, the amount of such future receivables extending
beyond one year was  approximately  $1,789,000,  and is included in  installment
accounts receivable-due after one year and deferred revenues.

During April,  1996,  the Company  signed an agreement to sell the technology of
its Superbase  subsidiary  for $450,000,  with $200,000 paid at closing and five
monthly   payments  of  $50,000,   commencing   June  10,  1996.  Such  proceeds
approximated the carrying value of the software costs. Certain liabilities as of
the closing remain the responsibility of the subsidiary.
